Good food is truly a gift from our God. It's a blessing to be able to use good ingredients and fix a meal for your family and friends, isn't it? Cooking is one way we can show our family how much we care for them. They need good meals when they're well, but they especially need nourishing meals then they're sick. It's also a nice gesture to serve it in a special way if they're bedridden - perhaps on a pretty tray with nice linens, special dishes and a flower in a small vase.

I've had a sick hubby for a couple of weeks. What started out as "sinus problems" turned to bronchitis, then to walking pneumonia. Poor guy! He's had a good appetite during his illness, but has been more particular about what he's wanted to eat. He's been hungry for "comfort foods." So for Sunday dinner yesterday, rather than opting for chicken soup, I planned a menu of Homestyle Chicken Bake. This is a Southern Living recipe I found a few years back that replaced my old chicken and rice recipe. It's substantial because it has chicken, rice and carrots in the dish. A salad and bread are all that's needed to make this a full meal.

Combine soup, sour cream, and milk; spoon mixture over chicken breasts. Sprinkle paprika over top. Bake, covered at 350 degrees for 1 hour. For a Sunday after church meal, I put it in the oven at 280 degrees when I leave for Sunday school.

What do you do or make when you have someone sick at your house?

About Me

Being a helpmeet to my husband is my first calling, given to me by the Creator of the family. I count it an honor to have served with him in the ministry these past 32 years. Though I didn't grow up in a "ministry" home, I grew up in a godly home where I accepted Christ as my Savior as a child. I watched my parents model love for Christ before me and I learned to love being in God's house and serving there. I love working in the ladies' ministry at BCBC and desire to help women understand, through the teaching of God's Word, their biblical role and find joy in obeying it.
